Psalms 3
1 The psalm of David when he fled from the face of his son Absalom. Why, O Lord, are they multiplied that afflict me? many are they who rise up against me.
Salimo la Davide. Atathawa mwana wake Abisalomu. Inu Yehova, achulukadi adani anga! Achulukadi amene andiwukira!
2 Many say to my soul: There is no salvation for him in his God.
Ambiri akunena za ine kuti, “Mulungu sadzamupulumutsa.” (Sela)
3 But thou, O Lord art my protector, my glory, and the lifter up of my head.
Koma Inu Yehova, ndinu chishango chonditeteza, Inu mwandiveka ulemerero ndipo mwanditukula.
4 I have cried to the Lord with my voice: and he hath heard me from his holy hill.
Kwa Yehova, Ine ndilira mofuwula ndipo Iye amandiyankha kuchokera ku phiri lake loyera. (Sela)
5 I have slept and taken my rest: and I have risen up, because the Lord hath protected me.
Ine ndimagona ndi kupeza tulo; ndimadzukanso chifukwa Yehova amandichirikiza.
6 I will not fear thousands of the people, surrounding me: arise, O Lord; save me, O my God.
Sindidzaopa adani anga osawerengeka amene abwera kulimbana nane kuchokera ku madera onse.
7 For thou hast struck all them who are my adversaries without cause: thou hast broken the teeth of sinners.
Dzukani, Inu Yehova! Pulumutseni, Inu Mulungu wanga. Akantheni adani anga onse pa msagwada; gululani mano a anthu oyipa.
8 Salvation is of the Lord: and thy blessing is upon thy people.
Chipulumutso chimachokera kwa Yehova. Madalitso akhale pa anthu anu. (Sela)
